Linkin Park reunites with Emily Armstrong and Colin Brittain, unveils new album ‘From Zero’ – ThePrint – ANIFeed

Washington [US]September 6 (ANI): Legendary rock band Linkin Park has officially announced their return to the music industry with new material and a new line-up, seven years after the death of their former lead singer Chester Bennington.

Armstrong, known for her work with alternative rock group Dead Sara, and Brittain, a songwriter and producer who has worked with artists such as Papa Roach and All Time Low in the past, will join remaining original members Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Phoenix and Joe Hahn.

In this new chapter, Armstrong will share vocal responsibilities with Shinoda, which, according to The Hollywood Reporter, marks a significant change in the band’s dynamic.

“This is a very special day for us,” Shinoda noted during the live stream, adding, “In the role of Chester Bennington this afternoon is each of you.”

The live stream is also available on Linkin Park’s official YouTube channel.

Bennington’s death in 2017 left a huge gap in the band after their last album with him, “One More Light,” was released.

The livestream featured the debut of their new single “The Emptiness Machine” and revealed their upcoming album “From Zero,” which is set to be released on November 15th.

This new record marks a fresh start for the band, mixing their familiar sound with new elements brought by the new members.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, a band representative announced that original drummer Rob Bourdon has decided to leave the group.

Shinoda expressed his excitement for the new lineup, saying, “The more we worked with Emily and Colin, the more we enjoyed their world-class talents, their company and the things we created. We feel truly empowered by this new lineup and the vibrant and energetic new music we made together.”

In addition to their new album, Linkin Park announced their “From Zero World Tour,” which includes five arena shows in major cities such as Los Angeles, New York, London, Berlin and Seoul. A sixth show is planned in Bogota, Colombia. (ANI)
